Hi BRadmin,

I tried to open your resume, but there's an error page when I click on the link! I'd love to have an exploratory chat with you about what you're looking for in your next career move. My team and I work with several startups in SF, LA, and NYC and I'd love to introduce you to the ones that pique you're interests.

Please send me an email at knelson@payettegroup.com or respond here.

Cheers-

Kate

Expanding the pie is more about:

1. calculating the total combined value all involved parties receive from making a deal 2. trying to increase this value above and beyond their BATNAs 3. then carving up and sharing this excess

So it's about focusing on specialized synergies and value creation. For a more in-depth read I'd recommend Co-Opetition by Brandenburger and Nalebuff (whose class on Negotiations I just completed): http://www.amazon.com/Co-Opetition-Revolution-Combines-Compe...

By outsourcing he merely means delegating work to someone who is not an employee of the company - or rather, "to a freelance designer or firm." The OP makes no distiction between or contention for or against local, domestic or international workforces.

Because of that problem most organizations prefer 'digital signatures' which have a cryptographic component.

Brian Norgard, who started the thread, mentioned he "was in the belly of the beast due to the acquisition of my first company," which was Newroo.

I think it's because they're using FB for registration -

FB no longer functions this way for me - but Quora populates my full name and pic right after entering my email address (i.e. no credential submission required).

Hey can you provide some reference for the SSA benefit payments being "based on your latest 40 qrtrs."

I could only find this worksheet online: http://ssa.gov/pubs/10070.html

And under "Estimating your Social Security retirement benefit" your payments appears to be based on your highest index earnings over 35 years.

Screenings for a documentary about him, Transcendent Man, were finally posted yesterday:

37signals offers a 30-day free trial for paid plans, but clearly states: "If you cancel a paying plan within 30 days of signing up you won't be charged a thing. We'll send you an email 5 days before your first charge to remind you."

In addition they also offer FREE plans for their services - which require no CC at sign-up and allow you to upgrade at any time.

Edit: Any comments on the downvotes would be helpful as I was just trying to supply more detailed information on the actual process being discussed.

Great article, but repost from over a year and a half ago (and article is from 2003):

I will play the role of the guy who has never got the chance to read the article, although it is very old, and I will thank the poster!

Me too. This so perfectly describes how I feel in social situations, and it's nice to hear somebody say "It's Ok! It's society that's screwed up, not you."

Such a great article though that all extroverts should be forced to reread it yearly until it sinks in.

I'm an introvert but I also understand it goes both ways. Some of my extroverted friends may need me to swing the pendulum more their way as well. It may be uncomfortable and draining for me to be that outgoing or engaged, but I think back to the situations in which I made a conscious effort to do so -- I seem to have grown a little bit each time I did.

In case anyone wants to go more in-depth into the inner workings of an introvert, I highly recommend the book "Introvert Power" by Laurie Helgoe. The article sums up most of the basic points pretty nicely though.

And I've had it hanging on my wall ever since. Helps remind roommates and enlighten guests. Definitely warrants revisiting from time to time.

Sorry - unintentional repost.
